release her from her nda. there are people. there's one person. there are people at fox. one person. i'll tell you more. there are people at fox news were used to potentially work at fox news, or people who are there now, who may be bound by ndas as well. they may not be able to speak. so maybe fox news should release them from ndas. there are plenty of people out there who i'm sure would be happy to come forward, starting with the accuser. you can't get kavanaugh if the other side hasn't had its chance to speak. brett kavanaugh, his accuser, was able to come forward and testify unfortunately pete hegseth accuser is not able to say a word because he will bind her by an nda, bound her by an nda so therefore, if you want to hear from her first and foremost, everybody here, including the senators who are supporting him, should ask pete hegseth to release her from her nda. and it's not clear to me as to why that's not happening. >> should she be released from the nda? >> you know what? at the end of the day, i don

, bind her by an nda. so therefore if you want to hear from her first and foremost, everybody here, including the senators who are supporting him, should ask pete hegseth to release her from her nda. and it's not clear to me as to why that's not happening. >> should she be released from the nda? you know what? >> at the end of the day, i don't know that she needs to be released. he needs 50. he needs 51 votes. they need. the senate is going to. >> the senate's going to decide, but they need to hear from her. they need to hear from her well, do they need to subpoena her and have her testify and open i mean, that's the problem you're asking somebody who is potentially raped okay, let's have a little sympathy for this person to have to come in under subpoena of the senate and testify under oath, as opposed to just having private conversations with senators, which she could be having if she were released from her nda. and that's not happening right now. >> i mean, let me just julie's line of potentially raped

she has an nda. none of this makes sense.inly the senators that will vote for pete hegseth, they know better. because we spoke to them. we know where they stand on these issues with their own boats. and when it comes to the president-elect selections of not just pete hegseth but other people who engage in sexual misconduct coming to the administration, they just will not stand up and it is very disappointing and i hope that they actually listen and change their minds in the course of the coming months. >> gretchen, that raises, as we try to figure out how to move forward, it does raise a very important question. not just on the corporate side of your scorecard but also on the political side. the men and women who, in elected office, yes, say one thing but do another. and does the organization look to hold folks accountable in the political space as well? because in my estimation, that is a lot of where the energy for this really gets ratcheted up. because you have political leaders saying, pete is good. but wait a minute. he

guest: they could pass the nda this week. host: can you explain what that is. guest: it is basically the annual defense act to kind of give anything they can do. it funds things, kind of give the military more power here and there, and it has to be authorized every single year. for the most part, it usually is pretty easily bipartisan. in recent history it has been more and more difficult. it always passes pretty overwhelmingly. mike rogers of the house services has certain thing that he wishes were not in it at this point in time, and one of the things i believe was kind of no funding for gender surgeries for military members. and i think that was something that members of the house committee looked at and said we don't need the nda on that issue. we could have trump who is going to address this on january 20 and some people are kind of upset about that because the nda, historically they just want to do the job for the overall hot button issue. host: question from twitter, your opinion what are the top three legislative priorities for congress in the first wee

gop leaders and discussed the upcoming senate debate on the annual defense policy bill known as the nda. that was followed by senate democrats weekly news conference with majority leader chuck schumer. he was joined by the two newly sworn in democratic senators adam schiff of california and andy kim of new jersey. >> move forward with an agenda hope give the country back comes economy and each tell you, that we have a schedule which i think you've seen sprinting aggressive in terms of days we will be here but his hands moving forward with an agenda that will help get the country back on track when it comes to the economy, when it comes to energy, national security, when it comeses to the border. you expect us to be moving forcefully and aggressively forward with an agenda that addresses those concerns. concerns on which the american people voted in this last election. i can tell you, we have a schedule, it is a pretty aggressive schedule for the number of days that we will be here. it stands inee stark contrast to the way the democrats have run the senate for the last couple of years. i

but the nda is really the sticking point here. and if the senators really want to get to the truth, they will demand that hegseth releases her from this nda we'll see if they do. >> gretchen carlson thank you my next source tonight is a senator who will vote on his confirmation. he is supporting him at this moment. the question is whether anything would change his mind. also tonight, we are following the investigation underway right now in new york, as there are brand new details and new video in the shocking assassination style murder of the health care ceo right in the middle of new york city. we'll have the latest for you after this the source with kaitlan collins, brought to you by jp morgan wealth management so what are you thinking? >> i'm thinking about our honeymoon what about africa? >> safari? hot air balloon ride. swim with elephants. wait can we afford a safari? great question. like everything takes a little planning. or put the money towards a down payment on a ranch in montana with horses let's take a look at those s

although the nda that may pass the senate today, the space national guard. you know, what each of your thoughts are on that. do we need a separate branch of the national guard for space that would me over onto the structure of the air force? it looks like they will get this in the nda. >> aren't we using the old language? we need the best talent in the americas to be successful now. i don't care if you colorguard, civilian, all of these other categories. we need your brains, energy, money. anything it takes to get that, do it. the local presidents back home. weekend warriors are fabulous. more capable even some active duty troops. more successful in technology and capability. whether it's hardware or software. right now we are not tapping into that. some people are brilliant programmers. they have too many rings in their nose or too many tattoos or weird haircuts. we need to, if they have brainpower, we need it. we need to knock down all of that stuff. one of the biggest barriers for recruitment is it is a freestyle world. you can do that. it is all about ta

, identified as an nda, file that it -- filed as an nda.a bombshell report, listed is, the house task force investigating the trump assassination attempts is now saying the dhs, the secret service have produced no documents related to the assassination attempt at his golf course in september. that's the one at trump international. here with reaction is... limit get this straight. how is it possible that we have in butler p.a. an assassin get within 130 yards of the president, come within a millimetre of assassinating him, how is it possible that we have a guy get within 300 yards with a scope and an ak-47 and how is it possible that there is no urgency when you have a drones the size of a dining room table flying all over the state of new jersey and nobody seems to care, help me out here. >> i the real answer to that is that they don't want to cooperate. they don't want us to know the facts. they've stonewalled and refused to testify, refused to turn over documents and here's my conclusion. the head of the secret service needs to go. the di

and so, you know, she should be released from this nda so that she can tell her side of the story. if she wants to. but it's not an even playing field. and by the way, just because there were no charges, that doesn't mean it didn't happen. remember, this was back in 2017. this was right at the beginning of the metoo movement. even police and prosecutors had a different way of looking at these kinds of cases and so, you know i'm not exactly sure that things would not be different if this was not 2024. but the nda is really the sticking point here and if the senators really want to get to the truth, they will demand that hegseth releases her from this nda we'll see if they do. >> gretchen carlson thank you my next source tonight is a senator who will vote on his confirmation. he is supporting him at this moment. the question is whether anything would change his mind. also tonight, we are following the investigation underway right now in new york, as there are brand new details and new video in the shocking assassination style murder of the health care ceo right in the middle of new y

so if they really want to get to the truth, they should let her out of her nda. that's point number one. now on to the mom interview. um look, it was a softball interview that was strictly appealing to the female gop senators. as she said and it was a mom encounter, too, because it was mom to mom. and if mom says that her child is okay, then maybe other moms will feel the same way, i don't know. i'm seeing that there's a lot of hesitation from these female gop senators. it will be really enlightening to see what joni ernst actually says. i actually think she would make a better defense secretary than pete but you also have shelley moore capito and you have susan collins, lisa murkowski you have now cynthia lummis changing her mind on this. and yesterday you had senator lindsey graham, who had concerns about this as well. so in my mind, this is not about blowing up the pentagon. there are plenty of other people that can do that. and we've named a couple on this show today, ron desantis, joni ernst yeah, jasmine trump is reportedly considering ron desantis as gretc

seriously because we don't know who she is. >> he knows who she is. >> he could release her from the ndais agreement . hopefully he would be questioned about that. and beyond his kind of personal immorality, is the fact that he has said, and this is a wild thing, he has not said, i no longer drink problematically. but, i will stop drinking if you confer me. which just seems like such a monumental -- monumentally low bar. and help problematic the stories about him are. >> we will see if that clears quickly. there is one ideological conflict that the times is reporting on emma the idea of corn syrup and going to the heart of ethanol corn and corn syrup country. trump-vance are basically like, that will be fine. i do think there are certain ideological's that that will overcome with a certain loyalty to trump. >> i think that will probably be the case. even with ethanol, corn syrup. i am not so certain, it is one thing to say it now. but if rfk successfully manages to get the government this subsidizing corn and iowa farmers start losing money, what happens next? >> great point. thank you b

so there is no nda to release her from and if she wants to go and talk about it, she can do it. i mean, certainly she would do it at her own peril of a further defamation lawsuit but and additionally well, that's an nda. we didn't, you know people have been calling for her to be able to speak and you're saying, i mean, you're his attorney, you're saying that from the agreement which you negotiated, that she can come out and speak on on cnn or wherever she chooses of course, of course. however if she doesn't tell the truth, if she repeats these false statements then she will be subject to a defamation lawsuit. but no she and she's well aware of that. her her attorney was well aware that because of the breach of the agreement that is no longer in any force in effect, she is free to speak if she wants. i've heard people saying, you know, we should release him release her so that she can testify before the committee. there is no such thing as an nda that prohibits somebody from complying with a subpoena. >> okay so you're saying that she could be not us? you're saying she could be r

the full senate did not have a chance to work as well on the nda a . as a result if the ranking member of the armed services committee was forced to negotiate against the house at a much lower topline or defense spending on a much weaker position. the same is true for defense appropriations . as vice chair collins accepted. as ranking member wicker has pointed out repeatedly, we've got a lot of work to do to repair america's military and rebuild our defense industrial base. and finishing urgent business in december certainly is no cause for celebration. it will be just the end of an utterly unavoidable delay. now on another matter just before thanksgiving the senate reached a deal on judicial nominees . republicans would forgo our available procedural roadblocks on the remaining nominations to district courts which have the most to be confirmed . in exchange the democratic leader wouldn't bring any of the remaining honors of the circuit courts to the floor because they don't have the votes to be confirmed. as a result pres. biden is getting around a do

well the the nda impact, the ability it's one side of the story is there's an nda in that particular case. >> oh, absolutely i think that it does harm. it does more harm. on the other side because she cannot speak out as a as a victim. but i also think that there's enough there there in terms of we've seen some of the some of the allegations from the report itself. we have seen some things that were said by the by by the visiting nurse who actually went through the process when she was going through the rape kit. i think that at this point there are people who are saying, hey, this is a legitimate thing. whether you believe in his guilt or not, we have somebody in donald trump who was also accused multiple times of sexual abuse and sexual assault at the end of the day, how many people do you want in his administration to have these same types of charges? >> i will say to reiterate there has not been any charges filed against him these remain allegations and his mother has come out to talk about her email and saying that dear female senators, listen to him. so we'll see how all of thi

manufacture and monopolization of the drone industry they infiltrated several networks we need the nda make sure our troops are paid but we stay within budget restraints and make sure we get the woke crt out of the military and get the minor transgender surgery for children military band which is something in the final bill. maria: there is a story about one of the drones in new jersey crashing into a building. the fbi and local police have originally posted and talked about this and we don't know who originally posted the video but there was a video on x and social media and showing one of the drones may have crashed. if a drone crashed into a building and was destroyed on the ground isn't that enough to figure out what the drone is in who's behind it, i don't understand why we have no information. i do believe it i think they do have information they're not telling us. my guess is it's china and they're not doing anything about it, am i right. >> if the drone is large enough working to be able to find out who made it and knew brought into effect. if it's a smaller drone, my kids got

reporter: on the global engagement center, it ands to have been snubbed in the nda arch. have you spoken with house democrats on that? have they expressed any concerns to you? mr. jeffries: representative meeks is working hard on this issue and increasingly important that we engage on a global level in terms of this information and deal with the challenges we face here in america with respect to this information. reporter: fast forwarding ahead to the year january 3, have you spoken speaker johnson about the speaker's vote? will it be smooth sailing or will there be any democratic help from your side of the aisle? and couple of days later is january 6, certification, are you expecting that to go smoothly? do you think there will be any objections? mr. jeffries: i don't anticipate any disruption with respect to january 6. house democrats and democratic party are not infested with election deniers. with respect to january 3, i can say with a relative high degree of confidence that no democratic votes will be forth coming for any republican speaker candidate on january 3 in

, graham made some news in that interview saying hegseth told him he would release her from the nda "m that agreement." i mean to me, hearing that was like whoa, what if she does? >> that may have been senator graham's way of going after him without going after him, correct? i want to go back to max's point about fitness. there are allegations from veterans organizations, from the staff of veterans organizations, that have said not only drunkenness, but allowing sexual assault against an employee and other things, including financial mismanagement. none of that is about just qualification. that is disqualification. >> max said it. amen. >>> keep it here. we'll continue our conversation after a break. you're watching "the sunday show" on msnbc. wn. we were starting a business from the ground up. people were showing up left and right. and so did our business needs. the chase ink card made it easy. when you go for something big like this, your kids see that. and they believe they can do the same. earn unlimited 1.5% cash back on every purchase with the chase ink business unlimited card f

also mention the woman who accused him of rape , filed a police report and told a nurse, she signed a ndaymous, we don't know who she is so we can take her seriously >> he knows who she is. >> and release her from the nda and make this agreement public. hopefully, he will be questioned about that. beyond his personal immorality is the fact that he has said, this is a wild thing, he has not said, i no longer drink problematically but i will stop drinking if you confirm me. which seems like such a monumental, monumentally low bar, how problematic the stories about him are. >> we will see if that clears quickly. there is one ideological conflict the times is reporting on the idea of corn syrup and a good piece by jonathan weisman at the times, the ethanol corn syrup country, trump/vance, it will be fine. i think there are ideological obstacles overcome by personal loyalty to trump. >> i think that is probably the case. even with ethanol, the corn syrup, i'm not so certain. it is one thing to say it now when it is not happening. if rfk successfully >>> i don't know man, my money is on the cor

the nda passed without fail for decades with the cooperation from both sides.nd i hope this year is no exception. and on top of all that more emergency relief money is still needed for parts of the country, hit hard by natural disasters like hurricanes. we should come together again at the end of the year to get disaster aid done or we may not be ready to respond next time. mother nature. >> wreaks havoc in our communities. >> senate democrats are also racing to confirm as many federal judges as they can before republicans retake that chamber in january. reporting in washington, i'm trevor shirley. >> all right. in sports now, forty-niners have 2 different running backs. christian mccaffrey, a dreaded mason who are both on the injury list and out for the rest of the season for the regular season. kron four's erin wilson has the latest. >> just 4 weeks removed from ir and christian mccaffrey, he's headed back to injury reserve during the 2nd quarter against the bills. it was cmc who injured his pcl in his right knee and is expected to miss at least 6 weeks. and

you have to be able to translate support for our military which is a vote for the nda, but then, step up and fund those programs. fund those needs and make sure that we can follow through on the policies and achieve goals, achieve victory. i am looking forward to seeing how that translate in this administration and in the congress. >> i do want you to jump in here i think you do this very well. >> what else do i do well? [laughter] >> absolutely nothing, right. [laughter] make the case for if you were to do what the senators asking. how do you explain what the policy and ukraine is for, the purpose of it. >> is a general macro thing, a boring business lesson, you know , i think the largest by market cap defense startup in the world. and many of the people in this room are former proletarians and then we have doug philip boone and, basically, your future is powered by us. maybe not directly and we were the most hated most pariah most dislike, we used to do meetings in the backyard of the backyard of the backyard because you could not be seen. and, the reason i'm mentioning this is beca

or their gay or lesbian workers, keep your mouth shut because you have an arbitration clause or an nda, and you can't talk about what's going on at this company. and so, you know, the hypocrisy i could do without. and actually, we're launching in january a corporate rating system that would be able to tell you which of these companies silence their workers. i think that is the key to making sure that you have a diverse workforce, because by doing these silencing mechanisms, they're driving out the very people they pretend to want to enfranchise because it's people of color and women who are mostly affected by them, and they're being driven out of the workforce, out of their chosen careers because of these silencing mechanisms, i think it is crucial to get rid of those. >> ashley also mentioned higher education. i mean, we did get some signals about what's been going on in higher education at harvard, harvard law. they saw a huge decline in black and hispanic students. they enrolled 19 first year black students, 3% of the class, the lowest number since the 1960s. the school also saw a s

we have the nda, you have the nda. we've been seeing this information constantly come out. and this is not what republican senators and house members want to be talking about. they have this mandate. they want to gear up for the first 100 days, not fighting over this. >> and it's all about qualifications you might talk about biden's picks or democratic picks in general. they always nominated people that were qualified for these positions that actually had experience in doing this. this is not the case here. >> i would say austin had the experience. you know, the secretary of defense had the experience and his failure in afghanistan shows that the proper vetting and long term experience doesn't equal success. >> we'll see what the senators actually think. and tomorrow, being a very important day. thank you everyone. thanks laura. thanks. up next, the man who helped deliver the presidency for joe biden, standing by him and the decision to pardon hunter. congressman james clyburn is here to tell us all about the behind the scenes move that he made to urge biden to do it and th

allegations, when she first got to the party, she was asked to sign something something she believes to be an ndaer that, she entered the party. >> after accepting a drink. she claims she began to feel woozy and lightheaded, and entered what appeared to be an empty bedroom so she could lie down moments later. the lawsuit alleges combs, carter and an unnamed female celebrity enter, all of whom jane doe says she recognized in the lawsuit. jane doe then alleges that combs and carter took turns raping her as she lay on the bed disoriented, all while celebrity be watched. she claims she was only able to escape after hitting diddy and running out of the bedroom. >> within the amended lawsuit of sean combs and now sean carter, the plaintiff is saying that she suffered immeasurable physical and psychological damage, that she's had problems with interacting with people down the line, keeping jobs and being healthy. both physically and mentally. >> at the time, the then 30 year old carter was nearing the height of his career, rolled out with a best rap album grammy award under his belt for his record volum

> another question from the audience, what has been a politically controversial issue, although the nda that may pass the senate they may push this to rest but the creation of a space national guard, what are your thoughts on that, do we need a separate branch of the national guard for space that would mirror, the structure of the air force? or the space force proposed, looks like keeping one single component of full-time, part-time guardians, is that a better solution? thoughts on that? >> aren't we using the all language, we need the best talent in america to be accessible to the space force now and i don't care whether you are called guard, civilian, all these other little categories, we need your brains, we need your energy, we need your money. and anything it takes to get that, do it. the card has always been especially favored by congress because their local presence back home, i love that, weekend warriors are fabulous and often more capable than active-duty troops but we need to measure technology and capability whether it is hardware or software and right now we are not tapping

the nda eight is on its way to final passage.t through initialing. something i have fought hard and will boost a.i. for our competitiveness and national defense and expand the program from the chips and science act transform across the country and innovation. the modernization of our cap industry. bipartisan measures to expand on a.i. and infrastructure are so important to national security. there continues to be progress in work is ongoing. the deadline. we are close to an agreement. we get much-needed support across the country covering from disaster by hurricanes and a lot more waiting for a long time for this. it's been nearly a month hearing how urgently people across the country need disaster relief rebuild recovered. and we have to answer with a resounding yes. and it's what i'm focused on doing it should not be one of them. not an easy choice ahead of us. the devastating down. we put forward serious funding bills of past the committee and pass both chambers and help people because it does matter if they are forced to step

and some commentators have noted, you know, that there isn't, of course, an nda.is that something that abc could have asked for? well, certainly, you know, any litigant can ask for an nba in a settlement of a case. i mean, my sort of reading of the apology, the public apology in this case, in addition to the significant settlement amount, is that abc was agreeing to essentially vindicate trump's position and that that was a major goal of trump in seeking this settlement. david folkenflik from npr, you're listening to our conversation here. let's bring you back in. how do you read the consequences of this decision by abc for the broadcast media more broadly? well, look, we don't know- what kinds of embarrassing or, uh, damning material might have lcome to light had the case gonel forward this week. stephanopoulos and trump - were both scheduled or ordered by the judge to sit - for questioning under oath as part of the process. leading towards a trial. so disney wanted to certainly avert that. j uh, and there's some reportingl from the new york times of late that di

>>this nda is laser focused on the threats we face.icans largely agreed on the need to pass the 895 billion dollar defense funding bill. we are currently experiencing the most dangerous national security moment since world war. 2, the bills leads senators roger wicker and jack reed celebrated the pay raises for service members along with investments in the junior rotc and recruiting efforts which will help solve the military's manpower crisis. but read condemned a last-minute ad from house speaker mike johnson. it will block gender affirming care for children of military families. i disagree strongly with including such 8. frankly, i think misguided provision. many other democrats, including leader chuck schumer, voiced similar concerns. but most ultimately voted for the bill. the nda isn't perfect. >>but it still includes some very good things that democrats fought for. schumer pointed to provisions that give the u.s. more resources to combat adversaries like china. >>but wicker argued lawmakers could have gone further. regrettably, w

reporting from the washington post about the allegation of sexual assault that he paid in had signed an nda. he said it was consensual and denies sexual assault on his part. you could say, we don't know the truth and it's a serious allegation. it doesn't directly speak to what kind of manager he would be or how he would run an organization. in the case of the reporting you did, you show a lot of concerns from a bunch of people associated with the veterans organization he ran with his management and around women and alcohol. >> that is right. the allegations just keep piling up, really. i think is why his nomination seems tenuous at this point. when i was reporting was there was a whistleblower report, it was written not just by one person, by a group of people who work for him and a group called concerned veterans for america. i have interviewed several of the authors. it's an eight page report. it is really detailed and test dates, places, times, lots of names. 26 people named in it and it describes a picture that is very frequent, serious intoxication on the part of hegseth. a lot of inst

he paid that accuser an undisclosed amount of money to sign an nda.er this week, the new yorker reported that hegseth was forced out of multiple veteran's groups for financial mismanagement and there were allegations of sexist behavior and being repeatedly and belligerently drunk in public. last night, nbc news spoke to ten current and former fox news employees who said while he was at fox, hegseth drank in ways that concerned them. and yeah. despite all of this swirl, all of this controversy, he is not going anywhere. he published an op ed saying i faced fire before, i won't back down. he did his first on camera interview saying he still has donald trump's blessing. >> how is it going with trump right now? is he standing by you? >> i spoke to him this morning. he's amazing, he's a fighter. he has been through this himself. pete, i got your back. it's a fight. they are coming after you. get after it. i think he will be delighted we are talking today. it is our time to stand up and tell the truth. and our side. he knows that. i won't betray what we tal

guest: they could pass the nda this week. host: can you explain what that is.st: it is basically the annual defense act to kind of give anything they can do. it funds things, kind of give the military more power here and there, and it has to be authorized every single year. for the most part, it usually is pretty easily bipartisan. in recent history it has been more and more difficult. it always passes pretty overwhelmingly. mike rogers of the house services has certain thing that he wishes were not in it at this point in time, and one of the things i believe was kind of no funding for gender surgeries for military members. and i think that was something that members of the house committee looked at and said we don't need the nda on that issue. we could have trump who is going to address this on january 20 and some people are kind of upset about that because the nda, historically they just want to do the job for the overall hot button issue. host: question from twitter, in your opinion what are theop three legislative prioritiesor congress in the first week of

do you think pete should release her from the nda so that i can ask her the questions that you want meo? >> absolutely not. there's so many -- jake -- >> absolutely not? you started this interviewing saying you don't like these anonymous accusations and i should be able to interview these people. okay, shouldn't pete hegseth release this woman from her nondisclosure agreement so i can do what you suggested at the top of the interview you wanted me to do? >> oh, absolutely not. >> jimmy: absolutely not, jake. "let me be clear, i have no human qualities." [ laughter ] "my eyes are completely black, like a dark wizard. and my soul left my body many, many years ago." [ laughter ] it's all very frustrating. you would not hire someone to walk your dog if they paid someone to be quiet about a rape. and then we have vivek ramaswamy and elon musk. the lenny and squigny of true that town. they met with republicans in washington today to discuss their new "department of government efficiency." we don't know all of what went on at the meeting. we can assume there were a lot of missed high-fives.

a rape allegation against him and that he'd paid off a woman and signed a national -- you know, an nda, nondisclosure agreement with her in order to keep it secret, so i mean that was definitely not disclosed to the transition team. i mean, as you've been saying i think if nothing else this shows you what a tremendous mistake it is not to do background checks. the press, we're doing the best that we can, but, you know, we're not the fbi. and i was just -- it was jaw dropping what i learned about pete hegseth. >> yeah, and the fact your phone like you said has been ring off the hook today since this has been out there with more people calling to corroborate these kinds of allegations, we will look -- we won't look forward. we will expect your continued reporting on this, jane. thank you for your understanding. i appreciate it. >> thanks for having me. >> jane may, chief washington correspondent at "the new yorker" magazine. we'll be right back. stay with us. right back. stay with us to buy, or not to buy? that is their question. and nobody knows shoppers better than shopify. the undispu

he was a former nda. he consults for the sheriff's department.t of connective tissue in georgia so he knows the players here. to your point, he doesn't see anybody wanting to jump up and take this case. they are going to have to go through it and show what she did wrong and the mistakes she made. it was other things being said, what about the meetings with the white house and her former paramore. what did she know of that and how did that take the case? they are going to have to be forensic on the job she did. i don't know. she is already losing. do you want to be that prosecutor, having to look further into her just to prove she should go after trump again? >> as a district attorney elected to the will of the people, it did not agree with us and always thought it was insane and there is the argument that goes against your right to a fair and speedy trial. there somebody picks up the reins, there is no justice in that but there is no justice in it from the beginning. >> i will go further. who just won georgia in the 2024 presidential election? do

two, three, four times while they kept him in freezing cold courtrooms while that weaponize every ag ndahile they absolutely tried to kill him literally and figuratively. i cannot tell you how proud i was of him on election night. i cannot tail how proud i was given how involved i was in the fights. it was total vindication. not only did he win the electoral college buy it so much, 312 but winning the popular vote by almost 5 million votes. he was the greatest vindication i could have ever had as a son. itthe greatest vindication to my father who worked his butt off and never stop fighting for the american people and i sit here as a person that adores the man he is truly a national treasure to this country. mark: absolute no question about it we've never seen anyone like and he is a historic and iconic figure. so much of the country realizes that that's why they want to back in the oval office. even as history goes on and marches on its going to be seen in a bigger light but he had to overcome what he accomplished and the forces against him. which brings me too a another issue. he, you,

. >> explain what the nda is.he annual defense act the kind of gets in and kind of gives just anything they can do. it funds things and it kinda gives the military more power, different power here and there. it has to be authorized every single year. for the most part, it usually is pretty easily and in recent history more and more difficult. there is always these sets that oppose it. they pass it pretty overwhelmingly. always a fight to get it in the now. mike rogers had said there were things, getting republican support. one of the things that i believe of no funding for gender surgeries for military. i think that that was something that the members of the house armed services committee looked at. we don't need to make the nda culture. we cannot trump who addresses that on january 20. there some people that are kind of upset at that. nda just kind of want to do the job. a cultural hot button issue. >> question from twitter. what are the top three legislative priorities for congress in the first week of the new c

he's accused of raping a woman and buying her silence with an nda. he went to work events drunk and preyed on his female employees. he's mismanaged veterans nonprofits so far into debt they nearly went bankrupt. we cannot have a man like pete hegseth in charge of our national security. no. >> we should mention that hegseth was never charged with sexual assault. he claims that encounter was consensual and that the other unrelated allegations are false, but that won't stop senator warren from being able to ask hegseth all about these allegations on national television should he last long enough to make it to a confirmation hearing, but he's not the only controversial trump pick that may be in jeopardy. nbc news reports nearly 100 former national security officials signed a letter criticizing president-elect donald trump's decision to nominate former congresswoman tulsi gabbard for director of national intelligence and called for a closed door senate hearing to review any government information about her. gabbard has previously faced credit self for sym

. >> ethic is necessary that we pass the nda and there is some good things there with respect to thehe enlisted troops, we need to make sure congress has been hearing reports of the junior enlisted service members have government assistance food stamps basically to feed their families. it's important to take a look at what is the pay for the junior enlisted members, make sure they are getting the pay raise but at the same time we know our armed forces have started to integrate things that simply are part of making them the most world-class fighting force in the world. things like the gei, things like programs that are unnecessary and should be part of the core mission. what were hoping to do is hit those essential needs. make sure we are appropriately funded our military and our soldiers but also where can we cut the waste in the abuse and the program simply that don't belong. i am expected and i think were expecting that to come up for about and with respect to the remainder of government funding. yes it looks like were going to be seen as cr, i don't think anybody is happy about an
